Cooperative Educational Opportunities

Posted on by

Cooperative Education
comes to the College of Management!

Beginning in Fall 2011 COM students will have the opportunity be part of an academically integrated cooperative education program. The first cohort of 30 students will be enrolling in the one-credit Professional Development Seminar which will provide students with the necessary structure, resources and support to successfully secure and engage in their first co-op work experience. Students will choose between 3 or 6 month co-ops, gain a competitive edge in the job market and earn a salary while on co-op which can assist in offsetting college expenses.

Co-op exposes students to the real world of work and to career options while promoting a sense of independence and professional maturity. It also increases opportunities for career positions following graduation. A 2010 Research Brief from the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University reported that internship and co-ops are replacing the traditional starting job that most new college graduates entered just five years ago.

To learn more about the co-op option in COM, students can contact Martina Witts, Assistant Director of Co-op (Management) in the Career & Co-op Center at Martina_Witts@uml.edu .

Dear students, transfer students, or future students,

Welcome to Management Media! From this day forward, this will be a blog dedicated to transfer students looking to join UMass Lowell’s College of Management.

With the help of Frank Andrews (Associate Dean; College of Management), I will update this page frequently with important information on the College of Management. I will also write about current events, advice to students, and information on helpful departments at UMass Lowell.

My personal goal is to make this a fun blog for you to read. As you will notice in future posts, I don’t like to write in a “robotic” voice. I’m a student, and I wouldn’t be interested in reading something that sounds like a textbook!

So if you’re a current COM student, a transfer student, or are looking to join the UMass Lowell community, I strongly suggest you visit this blog regularly! You never know what you might learn.

Adios,
Matt Lawson
